About the USPTO Website

The USPTO debuted a redesigned website February 2015. The redesign includes new navigation making it easier to access services and accomplish tasks; for example, the Quick Links menu will connect you to the most heavily used tools for searching, filing, paying, or checking on the status of an application.

This redesign is the first phase of our work to upgrade users’ USPTO online experience. Future phases will improve our “transactional sites”—the online tools and systems where you conduct business with the USPTO, such as filing your federal trademark application or paying the fees for your patent. The design of the website and other online tools is guided by USPTO's Design Pattern Library.
